Indole-3-pyruvic Acid–TAA1 Feedback in Auxin Biosynthesis
2026-09-14
The 2022 PNAS study identified indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPyA, also called IPA) as a feedback regulator of TAA1/TAR aminotransferases, resolving how the two enzymatic steps of auxin biosynthesis remain coordinated. Its biochemical, chemical-genetic, and comparative plant evidence shows that reversible TAA1 activity and product inhibition help maintain IPyA at levels compatible with controlled indole-3-acetic acid production.

GST-Driven Lambda-Cyhalothrin Resistance in M. usitatus
2026-09-10
Dong and colleagues show that GST-mediated antioxidant defense is a functional driver of lambda-cyhalothrin resistance in Megalurothrips usitatus, rather than merely a correlated stress response. By combining RT-qPCR, antioxidant and apoptosis measurements, GST inhibition with diethyl maleate, and insecticide-sensitivity testing, the study connects redox protection with a measurable resistance phenotype.
